Groom killed in crash as he drove four friends home from his wedding reception

A young groom was tragically killed in a car crash as he drove four friends home from his own wedding reception.

Marko Andjelic, 32, from the northern Serbian capital of Belgrade, lost control of his car and crashed into a wall just hours after he wed his bride, according to local media.

His four passengers survived the crash shortly after midnight local time on Sunday while driving guests home after the reception in the city of Trebinje, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Local reports said it is not yet known how the Serbian groom came to lose control of the Alfa Romeo he was driving and crash into a wall.
